cyber_java 0 - 8 Grilled
56 punters turned up at cyber_java Arena, and despite threatening clouds on the horizon, no rain came.
Quincy Duyzer was the appointed referee with assistance provided by
Lodewijk de Rover and
Lucien Stoffel. cyber_java tactics involved an interesting 3-4-2 combination. Lineup: van Wessem - Moreno, Baciu, Valderrama - Publico, López, Abolafio, Zurita - Yding, Jiménez.
Grilled had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Bao-Tam - Kolesov, Tuan-Mu, Siu-Cheung - Fernández Riviera, Paullin, Siu-Yue, Spirig, Kek-Tjiang - Hjortlind, Stern.
With 1 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending.
Dani Spirig put the ball away for 0 - 1. 8 minutes into the game, cyber_java seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
inadequate level of organization. A lunatic dribble by
Benedict Valderrama, in front of his own keeper, set up Grilled's
Joe Stern for an embarrassingly easy strike after 9 minutes. 0 - 2! Grilled's
Dani Spirig received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 13 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 3 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. 27 minutes in, cyber_java appeared unsure on how to play and their organization was only
poor. The game had been on for 33 minutes when
Shen Kek-Tjiang broke through on the right, upping the score for Grilled to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. The visitors'
Ulf Hjortlind took advantage of an error due to a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and central backs 37 minutes into the match. 0 - 5 for Grilled. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 5. The forty-five minutes were dominated by Grilled, with an impressive 80 percent possession of the ball.
The cyber_java players spent the halftime break getting a rerun of the team's tactical organization and regained a
passable organization.
Ulf Hjortlind increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 0 - 6. By now, Grilled were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead. With 59 minutes played, cyber_java's
Peter Bros Yding fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee booked
Peter Bros Yding for diving. 64 minutes into the game, cyber_java seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
inadequate level of organization. After 68 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for
Joe Stern who increased Grilled's lead to 0 - 7. Grilled's
Dani Spirig received a play slashing through the home side's central defense after 83 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 0 - 8 goal. The home crowd was not pleased with that one. This third goal made a hat trick for
Dani Spirig.
Javier Zurita of cyber_java received a yellow card after 86 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 87 minutes into the game, cyber_java seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a
poor level of organization. Grilled claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 80 percent.
Most important cyber_java player was
Brian Publico.
Javier Zurita on the other hand, had a terrible day. Grilled's best player was
Au-Yong Siu-Yue.
Kau Siu-Cheung was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 8.
